Crocheting 9 Patch Squares

A side project I have going on right now is making these little granny squares and then sewing them together in 9 patch style and then adding one more granny border.

I will then crochet the squares together to make an afghan. It is a great way to use up bits of yarn.

I finished reading White Goats and Black Bees and wanted to share a quote:

"So is the ability to enjoy life, minute by minute. Despite our long hours of physical work we learned from our neighbors the value of stopping work - for a cup of tea, talk, or simply to watch a flower or bird or the way the sea broke over the rocks. It was easy for city people, watching a farmer stop in the middle of some task to think him lazy: 'There's the Irish for you.' It is difficult for people whose lives are broken into segments to understand what life can be when it si of one piece."
